Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is often caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In the development of Mesothelioma disease, malignant cells grow in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. The most common place is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity). However, Mesothelioma disease could also take place in the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart), or the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity).

Unlike lung cancer, there is no connection between mesothelioma and smoking.

As a matter of fact, many people who have mesothelioma disease might have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. Some may have been exposed to asbestos fibre or dust through other means, for example, by house rennovation project using asbestos cement materials, or by washing the clothes of family members who have contact with asbestos.
